‘Recording and presentation are the stuff of dreams. Hyperion has done Fauré proud’ (Gramophone)
‘The songs certainly show Fauré to possess a far wider expressive range than an acquaintance with just a handful of his best-known examples would suggest … the gem of the set has to be Christophe ...
‘No other disc, I imagine, has ever managed to be quite so scholarly and quite so erotic at the same time’ (The Guardian)
